Biography
2024
“Catie Curtis is an artist whose songs unarm me, move me to put down my defenses and just be with them. She lures me in through her kindness and respect for all beings. I have been listening to her music for years, she is an inspiration to me. She knows the power of gentleness, and the vulnerability in her voice has always undone me.” - Mary Gauthier, award winning singer/songwriter
For over 25 years, Catie toured full-time in the US and Europe, releasing 14 recordings and selling over 250,000 CDs (not to mention streaming and downloads). She has recorded for major (EMI Guardian) and independent (Rykodisc, Vanguard and Compass) labels, collaborating with some of the finest musicians and producers in the country. Her songs have been featured in several films and multiple tv shows, and she performed several times at the White House during the Obama administration. Her audience knows she's not afraid to speak up about political issues and to stand up for the LGBTQ community. She’s intensely grateful for those years on the road, and honored to know that her music has been an integral part of so many people's lives.
In 2017, Catie explored a desire to work locally rather than spending so much time on the road. She got a master's degree in counseling and is now a psychotherapist in Newburyport, MA. She seeks a balance between her work as a therapist and an artist. “I still need and want to create music. Writing is still how I make sense of my life and the world around me. I still love getting out to play shows and connect with people.” Fortunately, it’s important to her fans, too.
